In Beaufort, South Carolina, one very special woman, code named Moses, is hatching a spectacular plan.

A bounty on her head, she has given up husband and home for the noblest cause: a nation of, by, and for the people.

For her gamble to succeed, “Moses” must outwit alligators, overseers, slave catchers, sharpshooters, and even hostile Union soldiers to lead gunships up the Combahee River. Men stand in her way at every turn--though one reminds her that love shouldn’t have to be the price of freedom.
It’s the perfect read before going to see the big new movie about Harriet Tubman, Harriet (November 2019) starring Kasi Lemmons, Cynthia Erivo, and Janelle Monae.
